LO-3D Computer Graphics

Peter Kolus is a senior 3D artist and a CG generalist. Kolus has taken lead projects for leading companies such as Disney, Tiger Beer, and Mercedes Benz. For one of his projects, he collaborated with Leo Calliard and Gosia Sluszkiewicz to create a series of artworks called “Heroes of Stones.” I was intrigued by it because it shows such detailed and realistic stone sculptures of heroes and villains from comic books. It was really interesting to see vivid expressions captured on each character’s face, even though they were supposedly just sculptures. In addition, each individual artwork carries so much detail on all aspects, such as lighting and texture. He successfully turned his interest in comics to a realistic artwork in a compelling setting. Kolus was responsible for shading, rendering, and composition. It’s possible that he may have used programs like 3ds Max, photoshop, and nuke to generate different textures and shades.
